#WarAndPeace2022 is a wonderful adventure. I confess that I want to turn to the next chapter before the next day. One time, I waited until after 12 midnight to read the chapter for the following day to see what happened next ….because I couldn’t wait until morning.

If we are confessing here, I have often read another chapter as I had to know. But there are days when I don´t have time to read a chapter at all so it will all work out. If I finish ahead of schedule, I may start over as I’m sure I’ve missed things. It is so good!!

I can’t believe that I never thought of reading War and Peace before. Maybe the reading comes when you need it the most. P.S. I know that I’ve missed some things.

War and Peace is a wonderful surprise to me. I thought that this book would be a tedious read, but quite the contrary, it is a page turner. Many thanks for listening and for your comments. Hugs!!

As you know, I’m following this challenge, and wondered where your own comments were hiding. I’ve been rather dim. However, we’re somewhat overtaken by the current dreadful turn in events. I know this is neither the time nor the place to record this, but suddenly, I ‘got’ this book: it took me a while. I’ll continue to read, believing that it may give me, among other things, some insight into Russian culture and mores

Hi Margaret – first off, my apologies for not responding sooner to your comments. I am still reading War and Peace, even though I am posting any updates as we all hold our breaths as events unfold. Leo Tolstoy’s ability of storytelling was remarkable. In a time of complexity, tragedy and uncertainty, books are a solace, a call to action and a confirmation that life is indeed the most precious gift. I am delighted that we have come together – I enjoy our conversations!
